I realize that this kit will drive two speakers. What configuration do I need to support L, R, center-channel and powered-subwoofer?

Wirelessly or wired L, R, center and sub? If wirelessly you will have to find a kit that supports all the speakers. Otherwise you just wire the remaining speakers to your amplifier or AV receiver.

This is a two channel or stereo amp. A sub woofer is designed to go with a surround system which has 5 or more channels. Like the other commenter said, your 50 watt speakers can risk damage if you turn the volume up to loud. Also, you could add another pair of similar speakers to balance it out. Each channel on this amp has outputs for 2 speakers, left and right. So you could run 4 speakers at once, 2 for the left channel and 2 for the right channel. 2 speakers rated at 50 watts for each channel should work nicely. This is somewhat like the setup I have. For each channel I have a large floor standing speaker (at least 75 watts) and a smaller speaker to reproduce the treble or higher end of the frequency. This is a two channel or stereo amp.

the subwoofer is integral with the sound bar - it should work with the other speakers in the sound bar assuming your other speakers are working - do not expect the bass to be as full as a separate subwoofer although the volume will be more than sufficient

Thanks Ben. I don't know too much about speakers so I appreciate your input. I have this TV and I can tell you that there are two separate sets of cables, as you anticipated for the R & L speaker..I guess I should think about 6.1 or just get a separate center speaker. On the other hand, could you let me know if, when reading the manual, you saw anything about setting it up through the on screen menu? Some TVs can simply set the TV speaker output to center speaker..Thanks!

Hello! You only need one center channel speaker. I believe the 'each' is referring to the 87$ per speaker. I'm watching a movie now and I can assure you, one is enough!.

I have since sold the unit. I used 2 powered Sub Woofers and connected them to the Sub Woofer Out on the back of the unit.

You connect any speaker you want to the system, as for the center channel to me it doesn't matter, later on you can get better speakers for the system.I hope this makes since and helps you out

You mean multi channel connection or multi stereo sound stage? Because, if it's multichannel connection, you should have the sobwoofer connected from the source and then it should be working. If your talking about multi stereo, then the speaker pattern must have a .1 in order to get the LFE directed to the subwoofer.

To balance the load of the powered amp in the sub, I bought a RCA splitter and plugged it into the L/R on the back of the sub. My reciever only had one RCA out for my sub so the splitter worked

Think of this unit as 5 individual power amps to do as you please. Use "Y" input connectors to create 2 sets of 2 speaker outputs. Add an external equalizer if you need further adjustments. What you'll want to do with the 5th channel is anyone's guess. I hope this helps.

If you have a LFE output on your receiver, then you only need one cable. Quoting the Owner's Manual, "If you have a Dolby Digital or DTS processor/receiver, the Low-Pass Frequency is set by the processor/receiver." See http://www.jbl.com/images/media/ES250P(120V)_OM_EN.pdfIf you want to run in "normal" mode, then you'll need to buy two cables. See the manual for configuration settings getting the L/R receiver outputs to your subwoofer.I use mine in LFE mode. I hope I've helped you. Good luck!

With these speaker systems you should not run any sub out rcas to them, your best bet is to just run the standard speaker wire and set the receiver to large size and that will send the lfe/.1 channel to the front speakers and make.sure you turn off the sub option in the menu of the receiver. As far as which center to get , I would definitely recommend going with the 8060 because it will play louder and cleaner because the built in amp takes care of the bass and use a 40 hertz crossover or higher on all the speakers.

Undestood. In that case if you have space If I were you I would put the L820 on the surround back and the 810 on the surround left and the surround right, by the way I could change the LC1 for a LC2 (Remmember that the center speaker manage aprox 50% or so of the sound, worth it) and for the subwoofer Cerwin Vega XLS 12S

Hi, I purchased this amp for a two channel configuration, and I am very happy with the results; it has much more power and more fidelity than an integrated receiver. I think that maybe you only have to configure your system to provide the same power level to all the speakers; if not, the front speakers will sound louder than the rest. Regards.

I've been happy with wiring the second inputs separately on the big L and R speakers and using that for the low end, but I'm also not a major bass-head. I'd suggest trying that first and then if you feel you need to add a sub, do it.

I have no problem running large front speakers along with a sub.... with the rear surround speakers at the same time.Phil
